Walking distance to all popular amenities of Point Lookout
Billa Bush Cottage is a newly renovated (Nov 2018) Island home that has kept it's beautiful charm and original qualities but been pulled into the modern world with a beautiful modern 'wet room' bathroom and lovely kitchen.
The home features polished timber floors throughout and a large open plan kitchen with a microwave, gas stove and Nespresso Coffee Machine (bring your own pods). The deck with gas BBQ and dining area overlook the native bushland. There is also a Bluetooth Mini Speaker for listening to your favourite tunes.
There are two bedrooms, one with a king size bed and the other bedroom with two single beds. Both are air conditioned although once the screened windows are open, the breezes start to flow through the home.
Billa Street is well known for it's proximity to the heart of Point Lookout and is walking distance to all shops and beaches.
Please note that this is a "no screen" cottage but is a very easy stroll to the Straddie Pub to watch any special events on their big screen. There is however a high speed Starlink connection available for all your own screens.
Linen Supplied and beds made for your arrival.

Wonderful

We had a very comfortable stay. The house had everything we needed to be able to cook at home. It’s a bit of a walk into the main part of town so we were glad to have a car.
We had an incredible stay.The house is beautifully set among Straddie’s stunning bushland and wildlife, creating a truly relaxing atmosphere. The management team was fantastic—professional, efficient, and a pleasure to deal with. Everything about our experience was seamless, from the home itself to the outstanding service. Straddie never disappoints, and this trip was no exception. We highly recommend the property.

Billa Bush Cottage is a humble, warm, beautifully situated home away from home. Perfect for a small family who want comfort, peace and tranquility whilst still having quick access to the adventures that North Stradbroke has to offer.
A lovely house - open, bright and breezy. Managed to cook for 8 people comfortably. On issue was the oven not working. Overall, a great place.

This is a beautiful accommodation and would be lovely in the warm weather. However in the middle of June when we were there it was very cold and unpleasant. The sun does not get down in the ravine where it is situated at all. It is almost colder in the house than outside. Not enough blankets to be warm at night.

Unfortunately, the maintenance and cleanliness of the property was poor. Upon arrival we were greeted with a dirty deck and dust, grime and dog hair on the outdoor furniture. Inside was much the same; marks on the doona covers, dirty plates, cutlery, pots and pans, an empty gas bottle for the BBQ, broken oven and the list goes on. The property had ants crawling from the verandah ceilings to the countertops inside.Overall, the property is in a great location, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Point Lookout. Just a short walk to the beach and pub. Spacious enough for a few people, great outdoor area, it just lacked upkeep. Despite all of this, we did have a good stay at the Billa Bush Cottage. I would recommend the property owners to either hire a new cleaner or inspect it before guests arrive.

A well appointed and laid out small home away from home in a beautiful quiet location. We loved our stay, but the place had most certainly not had a deep clean in some time, and the lack of a shower screen made for a very wet bathroom.

Gorgeous little beach cottage in a very quiet peaceful location backing onto the bush. I was even more impressed with the property in person vs the photos. A short walk to cylinder beach and the local pub for a drink (and they have a bottle shop too). Lots of basic items provided like salt and pepper.Something to consider if taking little kids is that the curtains are completely sheer.

We loved our stay at Bush Billa. It was very clean and comfortable. The back deck was great. We loved the location as it was nice and quiet but very close to the Gorge walk, shops and cafes at Point Lookout. We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely quiet pocket of Straddie close to everything. Beds were super comfortable and we felt so relaxed anywhere in the house. Only negative is that the curtains in main bedroom are in need of replacing and bbq not clean.
Beautiful renovated beach house close to Cylinder Beach
Property was well maintained and beautifully renovated. Good supply of games and books. Close to Cylinder beach, but a fair walk to Point Lookout restaurants. Remember to bring shampoo and a hairdryer.

Thank you for your review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Hope to see you back on the island again soon.
Poor advice re pantry.. we’re told no salt & pepper ,cleaning dishwasher stuff etc. sorry , better pantry than st my home. I suspect this a generic setup but needs to be updated for each rental as we filled a box with totally superfluous stuff that was already there. I realise this is more work for you but real basics like s & p sugar washing up stuff should be mandatory for owners. A few minor problems that we sorted due to non information but looking about sorted them. Loved arriving on s hot & sticky day to find aircon & fans going. Nice touch.
Beautiful house to stay in. Short walk to the beach and bus stops which then take you into the main townships. Would recommend an island pass if staying for more than 5 days. Was all very clean and had everything you would need for a week or more stay. At the end of a very quiet street and surround by trees. Would definitely visit again. Thank you!
